My passenger door side Pioneer TS-D6802R has blown . I've been thinking of replacing my door speakers with JBL GTO 8629. Do you think these are good speakers? Will they sound as good or better than the Pioneer's i have? I don't know too much about speakers. I have the Shaker 500.

 

Never mind. I just ordered the JBL GTO8629's as one of my Christmas presents from my wife to me . Won't know how good or bad they sound until after Christmas

 

They are pretty good speakers. The highs are a little bit over emphasized with these speakers. Which should actually balance out nicely with the bass heavy shaker system. Enjoy! I mean enjoy after Christmas.

 

Thank you. This is good to know because at my old age i can't hear high sounds very good.

 

I installed the JBL GTO 8629 speakers in my doors. I still have the Pioneer TS-D6802R speakers in the rear. The JBL's have a lot more high sounds, which is good with my old age and can't hear high notes as good. I turned the bass three more clicks more, sounds nice and clear.
I won't say the JBL's are better than the Pioneer's but they sound more to my liking because of my hearing lose of high sounds.
I thought i would let you all know

 

I'm glad you are happy with them! The Christmas wait is a killer.
